THE CINCINNATI, HAMILTON &
DAYTON.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

In Butler county, Ohio, applica-
ton was made on the 10th to have
the c. III. ID. railroad placed in the
hands ola receiver. The stockhold-
err, making this application, states
that in January, 1887, the stock;
holders authorized further issue OF
100000 of bonds, and in June
1887, authorized still further issue
of $500, 900, and.in September, 1886,
they had authorized the issuance of
$1O,O00,00O of preferred stock, for
the purpose of taking up the bonds
and stocks which had previously
been guaranteed by the road; but
afterwards it was resolved to sell the
100000 of preferred stock and
use the proceeds for the general pur-
poses of the road; and that tie
President and Vice-Pres:dent, by
virtue of their office and as fiscal
agents for the road, were authorized
to sell said bonds and stocks That
from and after June, 1886, all the
earnings of the road were sent to ii.
S. Ives d Co., of n. T., and that
Ives and his partner, Geo. Stayner,
used said proceeds and the earnings
coming into their hands as the bank
ers of said road, for their own pur-
poses entirely; that they sold 81,
100000 of bonds and 81, 100000 of
the preferred stock and used the
proceeds for their own purposes.
By reason of this and other traudu-
lent conduct on the part of managers
of the road it is TN the verge of in
solvency, and that in order to pro-
tect the interests of the holders OF
it's securities the road should be
placed in the hands of receiver

A FALSE POLICY.

SEPT. 12.--The recent transfer OF
the B. d. 0. to parties interested in
the management of the Pa. road is
the elimination and legitimate re-
suit of the suicidal policy maintain,
ed by the Carrots. If instead of
taxing the local traffic all it would
bear, the b. & o. had given it fair
rates the company would not have
come to this extremity. The one
policy deferred and destroyed the
development of productive industry
along its line; the other policy would
have stimulated local enterprise and
thus increased shipments. Increas-
ed shipments means increased earn
ing capacity.
1t is said the efforts to make q
road from BALTIC. to n. Y. necessi-
tated the creation of the debt which
finally caused the transfer of this
great avenue of trade to its rival,
and, with this explanation. the coun-
try is expected to lose sight of the
true cause.
A wise management would have
done all it could to build up local
traffic; it was its duty to do so; but
the policy was, to subordinate bust
ness along its line to business at its
ends. The writer recently, (about
the middle of July,) passed from
Grafton TO Parkersburg. Every
where were the marks Of poverty and
unthrift. The faces of the people
at the depots wore the expression
one finds among the peasantry OF
Russia,-an expression of hopeless
ness; and inquiry discovered that
an astonishingly large proportion OF
those at the depots had come for let
tiers expected from sons and broth
ers who had fed from what seemed
| inevitable poverty to find better con
ditions in the West. The men that
remain are, for the most part, too
poor to go.
The air at these way-stations was
disagreeable with the odor of chick
en- coops,-some filled and some
empty. The trade in fowls seemed
pretty much the only industry that
could live under the rates exacted.
The policy of taxing the traffic all
it will bear has reduced the people
| tributory to this section of the b. d
O. to mere chichen raisers. / LEARN,
ed that the Lynch Brothers, Parker
Pepper. the Woodfords and other
great cattle raisers and dealers IN
stock had all given up the business
after spending large portion, or all
of their fortunes in vain effort to
| make that industry profitable. The
| unreclaimed forests holding 40 OF
the lands along its line after 80
| years of opportunity to reach mar,
ket. attest the utter folly of all at
tempts to carry on any business
| along this trunk line.
Will our new masters do better Oh
| worse is question of vital impor-

Ives and Stayner were Wall street
gamblers of the class least entitled
to be trusted with power to interfere
with the natural flow of trade:-least
fit to have in their custody high
way,
A few months ago these men, with
associates of the same class, had
nearly consummated combinations
whereby they would gain control of
the management of the Il. d o. For
some time passed they had had pos
Session of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
ID, Dayton road and by means of a
contract with Mr.. Garrett, (cOuld
they have commanded the use of
some two millions of dollars, they
would have captured and had pos
session of an artery OF commerce ex-
tending from Philadelphia to Chica-
90 and st. Louis.
Owing to what seems a mere acct
dent these adventures failed to find
the money they expected and Mr.
Garrett delivered the b. & o. to a
syndicate of English and American
bankers.
Ives and Stayner then failed and
their assets, $25,OOO,OOO of corpora
ton securities were transferred to q
receiver. This receiver had Occa-
sion for the ledger and other books
of account that recorded the trans
actions of this banking firm. Ives
and Stayner refusing to deliver up
these books, a suit was instituted to
compel their production, and both
of these men, testifying under oath,
said the ledger and other books had
mysteriously disappeared without
their knowledge and by means en-
tirely unknown to any one connected
with their business. 1t is needless
to say, the opinion prevails that these
men swore falsely, and the indica'
tions are that both of them will be in
the penitentiary before the eXpira-
ton of twelve months. The New
York papers of the 25th oflastmonth
had this paragraph:
Yesterday Ives and Stayner were eX-
amined before Judge Davis about their
missing books. While Stayner was
swearing that he knew nothing of them,
the adjoining building was struck by
tightening.
Elsewhere is printed from Cincin-
natl paper of the 18th the statement
of suit based upon the allegation
that, while in possession of the c. II.
d. road, Ives and Stayner had stolen
the proceeds of 81, 100000 bonds and
$4,50O,0O0 stock.
These are the men who, but for an
accident, would NOW have in their Gus
tOdy such an artery of trade as the
b. Il o. These men will represent
the class who now control the trans
portation of sixty millions of people.
1t was in the power of a single indi
vidual, Mr.. Garrett, to deliver to
Ives and Stayner the B. d o. Is it
not time for the body of the people
to wake up to the true condition of
this country and bring to he front
men who do not truckle to railroad
influence?
